HP,
It is our religion who abide us not to let Non-Muslims to our holy places nor touch the Quran. It is in the core of our religion. and it is the teachings of prophet muhamed PBUH.
If you want to make sure, as a scholar, and don't just assume things man.
Really, you are giving wrong information to ppl.

Well actually HP does have a point! Take the monastary of St Catherine's on Mount Sinai where Mosses received the 10 commandments from God, it also houses the so called burning bush. The monastary is open to all, there's a church and a church standing side by side, so people of all faiths can worship - now that's forward thinking and openess, but run by the Greeks it doesn't surprise me!
Do you know when the Egyptian governement asked the Bishop how far the lands of the monastary extended so they could make it a protected site, he replied, 3 days walk in any direction!
Religious sites are important to all who have faith and should be treated as such.
